NAV status meeting minutes 2009-04-21 ===================================== Present: Morten, Magnus, Kristian Absent: Vidar, John-Magne, Thomas, Jørgen

morten ------ * Working on ipdevpoll - Writing code for understanding MIBs, through SMI dumps from smilib. - Looking at alternatives for persisting collected data to database. Would like to use Django's ORM, but ORM's are in general ill suited for asynchronous work. * Working on implementing blueprint deprecate-psycopg1. * Looked at how forgetSQL can be removed from SeedDB. - forgetSQL is only used to read information. All writes are pure SQL. forgetSQL usage could easily be replaced by Django's ORM. - Complete rewrite in favor of Django's ORM and forms would probably simplify the entire subsystem. * Found that some people who experience frequent servicemon crashes are hit by a Linux kernel bug, which triggers an unhandled exception in calls to time.sleep().

magnus ------ * device history fixing * looked at ipdevpoll blueprints. * working on authentication-deprecate-forgetsql blueprint. - getting to know the codebase.

kristian -------- * working mostly on main project (bachelor's degree) * fixed a couple of bugs (netmap, css) * just discovered a network explorer bug (session auth error thingy), investigating.

jørgen (via email) ------------------ * A few report bugfixes from post-it notes. * Working on smsd-backoff blueprint. First attempt has been scrapped.

I'll add that I know John-Magne was working on snmp trap support for WeatherGoose, and started research on mibs from UPS vendors APC and MGE. WeatherGoose support was completed, but needs testing and fine-tuning.
